Scarf Joins as Gold Sponsor of the MariaDB Foundation

We are thrilled to welcome Scarf as a Gold Sponsor of the MariaDB Foundation!

Scarf’s commitment to improving open source distribution and visibility aligns closely with our mission to ensure the continued openness, innovation, and sustainability of MariaDB Server. As a platform that helps open-source projects understand and grow their user base, Scarf brings unique value to the ecosystem—not just through sponsorship, but through actionable insights that benefit the broader community.

For the MariaDB Foundation, understanding who uses MariaDB—and how, where, and why—is key to making better decisions. Scarf’s privacy conscious analytics help us move beyond assumptions and anecdotes, giving us real-world data to guide our outreach, improve our documentation, tailor our events, and strengthen our developer ecosystem. This kind of visibility is critical for any open-source project that aims to stay responsive to its global community.

By supporting the Foundation, Scarf is helping to:

• Keep MariaDB Server truly open and community-driven
  
• Accelerate adoption and contributions worldwide
  
• Advance our outreach programs, including meetups, university collaborations, and developer initiatives
  

Together, we’re building a future where open source projects thrive—not in the dark, but with clarity, connection, and collaboration.

Thank you, Scarf, for believing in our mission and joining us on this journey.
